November Events: Squirrel and waterfowl open. Fall trout fishing is on! Good luck deer and elk hunters!
I grew up surrounded by national forests. My backyard was countless square miles with very limited rules to govern my activity. My family camped wherever we wanted and often hunted to gather our dinner. We cherished our freedom on this public land. The national parks however have much more restrictions on its visitors. Camping can usually only be done in reserved spaces, and hunting is almost always prohibited. Don’t get me started on the crowds either, but the truth is the crowds are gathered here because the borders of national parks aren’t just randomly drawn. These lands were set aside with extra protection because they encompass some of the most amazing geological features in our country. There are countless things to see and do in all our national parks, and I encourage you to experience them!
